Palaeontologist: Dinosaur Footprints – Biomechanics – Simulation
Working with photogrammetry, laser scanning, and all the other techniques I dabble with/intimately rely on, I generate a lot of 3D data. For the most part that data is usually very high resolution, and often quite noisy and in need of cleaning up. I want to detail here some of the software I've come across... Continue Reading →
Using the new 'Select Object' tool in photoshop to very quickly clean up photogrammetry data.

Here's a script to reduce the processing of AliceVision's Meshroom to a single double click. Much as I did for COLMAP, (and here) I've put together a batch file that can just be dropped into a folder of photos and double clicked to run the full Meshroom process and produce a filtered, textured model without...

Given how insanely popular my 'trying photogrammetry software' series has been this year, I thought I'd round up what I've tried, what's worked well, and what hasn't. Obviously I gave each piece of software in my blog posts a go with a standard dataset. That photo set was not ideal - it includes photos taken... Continue Reading →
[updated 17/12/17 to get rid of unnecessary meshlab portion] [updated 01/04/18 - Updated scripts for version 3.4+ of COLMAP] In a vain attempt to be useful, I want to share the script I'm currently using to automate my photogrammetry workflow. I'm using COLMAP in conjunction with openMVS on Windows 10 at the moment, and I... Continue Reading →
A somewhat belated blog post about my recent paper with Stephen Gatesy, published in JVP (If you don't have access, just drop me an email). It's one of the papers I'm most proud to have worked on, because I think it's a really interesting discussion about what we mean when we say a track is... Continue Reading →

Here's the original post, and links to all posts I think I've found a new favourite photogrammetry software! Available here: http://people.inf.ethz.ch/jschoenb/colmap/, I actually came across it when I followed back referral to my own site to this thread on Sketchfab, where Mesheritage mentioned COMAP - so full thanks to them! COLMAP has an excellent documentation available... Continue Reading →
